The mixed fission products existing on sampling day after decay

8,

The ratio of mixed fission products on sampling day (from all

and deposition corrections are further decayed to counting day.

tests before sampling day) to that on counting day is used to

correct the beta activity of individual samples back to sampling
day.

11.

The ratio of sr? to mixed fission products present from all tests
on sampling day is used to compute the Sr’\
deposition from the
individual samples,
The daily values are summed to give the total deposition for the
month, This value is divided by the number of actual samples in
the month and multiplied by the expected number to give the final
value for monthly Sr90 deposition. yThis value is as of the sampling month,

The computed beta activity oz sampling day is treated by the

method of Hallden and Harley(7

to obtain the infinity gamma dose

from fallout on that day. This calculation takes into account
the apportionment of the computedbeta activity among the debris
of different ages.

12.

The daily gamma values are summed and corrected as for the monthly

Sr90 deposition.
